The Research: Drinking Coffee Every Day

The research included 468,629 participants, who were divided into 3 groups based on their coffee consumption: none (do not drink coffee regularly), light to moderate (0.5 to 3 cups), and high (more than 3 cups per day).

They followed up with the participants 10 to 15 years later, with a median follow-up of 11 years.

They adjusted their results for age, sex, weight, height, smoking status, physical activity, high blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol level, socioeconomic status, as well as alcohol intake, and consumption of meat, tea, fruit, and vegetables.

They found that the light to moderate coffee drinkers of 0.5 to 3 cups per day had a lowered risk of all-cause mortality of 12% compared to non-coffee drinkers. They also found a 17% lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease and a 21% lower risk of stroke.

The Impact Of Drinking Coffee Every Day

In regard to the mechanism behind this effect, the researchers explained:

“The imaging analysis indicated that compared with participants who did not drink coffee regularly, daily consumers had healthier sized and better functioning hearts. This was consistent with reversing the detrimental effects of aging on the heart.”

Therefore, it appears that long-term, drinking 0.5 to 3 cups of coffee each day has a beneficial impact on our health with a main mechanism of improving our heart health.
